Nice Planter Corten Steel Trough Planter, 16" x 46" x 16"

Comes in a flat box as raw, unoxidized steel. Super easy to assemble with 10 screws. The pieces are very nicely designed and fit together perfectly - the screws thread into pre-tapped holes so there is no fussing with washers / nuts. It took me 15 min to assemble with just a screwdriver. The unit has drain holes in the bottom plate and small rails that serve as ‘feet” that run across the bottom of the planter to allow for draining. All in all a great buy.

I’d say you get what you pay for, but since these are 1/4 the price of many other options I think it’s well beyond that. If you’re a little bit handy these are easy to assemble and plenty sturdy thus far. Expect a gray metal to arrive and rust over time, (or if impatient you can speed rust them) Assembly — I did mine solo. Balancing the container on a sawhorse and with a bit of care it was easy enough. Though some might prefer two people. Hardware concerns—- I didn’t have any issues with it. They even provide a rethreading screw if anything gets stripped. I didn’t need the supplied bits but used them as a backup anyway. An extra screw or two just in case would be nice though. Item isn’t flimsy, albeit perhaps more flexible than the far heavier far more expensive options. But once filled with soil, the panels will lock into place and stay there. *Make sure you slide them into the slots correctly though.* Quality - again on the price, my first arrived with a bent metal edge that needed to be hammered carefully back into alignment, otherwise screw holes didn’t line up. This was easy to navigate, and once corrected all was perfect. So bottom line, if you’re a bit handy these are an extraordinary deal. If you’re not, you can pay more to avoid a bit of assembly and problem solving.

Beautiful and easy to put together. Heavy so build in place you will use them. Rusted within a couple of months which is what I wanted. They are very expensive but will last a very long time.

Will update with photos in the future, just assembled the two from the and ordered another. One box did come with a nice rip in the box, so some of the metal was a little warped/sprung and had some rust starting (no issue!)- but with a little banging it all fit together snuggly. Did not realize the assembly is pretty much impossible without the base (was hoping to just have them open on the base to our natural soil), but our fault for not doing more research. We are letting them naturally rust over time, so can update in future with how that does.

The planter looks really cool. Nice hot-rolled steel pattern on it. The only issue was that the bottom plate had a dent in the middle when I received it. The seller was really great and sent a replacement right away. Excellent service.

We purchased 3 20X40X20 planters for use in landscape bed adjacent to our front porch. They arrived in perfect condition on our front porch. The box takes 2 people to move, and best to have 2 people to put together. The assembly was easy to figure out. The gauge of the steel is very sufficient for being planters. They arrive without any of the rust. But just a few days outside in the rain, the rust started forming. What you are seeing in these pictures is 3 weeks since assembly was done and planters being left outside. It took us 3 weeks to remove the old shrubbery from the bed, prepare the area making to make it level. Their weekend we were ready to put the planters into place, fill them and plant. We are very happy with the outcome and are much looking forward to the beautiful rust patina naturally occurring over the course of the summer. We place the black Mexican beach pebbles around the base of the planters. I’m planning on moving those back away from the planters just a bit until the patina coloring is done. I’ve read this might not be necessary, but we have quite an investment in the black rocks and don’t want them to get the rust on them. I highly recommend NICE Corten Steel planters. The seller is very attentive if you have any questions to ask of him.

This item is super easy to assemble, just 10 small screws at the bottom. It is well engineered, the screws really do not have much work to do as the panels are interlocking. I was concerned with the seam between the panels but once assembled and it starts to get that rust patina, it is hardly noticeable. And for the price (when compared to similar items) it is a bargain! When assembling, the YouTube video is very helpful. Though he recommends to lay it on the long side, and support the second panel with a box, I actually set it up vertically, this way there was no need to support the second panel as it is resting on the ground. The screws all lined up very easily. I think it took less than 10 minutes to assemble. We bought one as a test and are very happy with it. We need ten total and now feel very comfortable ordering the rest. This seller is easily one of the top we've dealt with on Amazon. The first shipment arrived with some shipping damage but Dimitri was very courteous and quick to replace it.

The Corten steel planters we purchased are truly remarkable. Only took a few minutes to assemble (10 screws) They effortlessly infuse our outdoor space with a captivating rustic elegance. When rusted the finish lends them a timeless appeal, making them stand out beautifully in our backyard. These planters exude sophistication and charm.
